I realize I do better with flexible routines because they give structure but can be adjusted for my ADHD. So, I will list all the routines I need and why they are essential. In another post, I will break down each routine and what will be in mine.

Skincare (I have dry, uneven, sensitive skin that gets inflamed very easily. so it's important to control that)

Hair care (I have kinky hair with a dry scalp and want to learn how to maintain a healthy, clean scalp and keep my kinky curls moisturized and soft.)

Body skin care (I have uneven, hyperpigmentation, eczema-prone skin, and want soft, even, glowy skin)

Foot Care (I have  Dry skin, my toenails break easily, and vertical lines on my toenails from acrylic nail polish that I want to fix)

Makeup (I want dewy, natural, glowy makeup)

Physical health (learn how to shape and arch my eyebrow, lashes, nails, and toenails.)

Lip Care (I want to work on my dry, dull, stiff lips and make them pump soft and hydrated. )

Nail Care (My nails break easily, so I want to make sure I strengthen those.)

Oral Care (I want to whiten my teeth and improve oral care overall.)

So, one of my goals by 23 is to lose weight. My current weight is 280, and my goal weight is 120 - 135, so here is my plan as a Full-Time college student who is taking summer classes, so I will be working out at home. Here is my routine 💋✨✨

"Sometimes, you need to do the hard thing. Seriously, just do your homework the day you receive it, write revision notes, do your readings, write notes on those assignments as soon as you know they actually exist! Study for your test, even if it's boring and you want to avoid it. Read every required reading novel, go over flashcards every morning/afternoon, and make sure to use a planner.”

Ins:

Prioritizing my relationship with God 

Minimum processed foods 

Prioritizing self-care 

Reading more non-fiction

"Until you heal the wounds of your past, you are going to bleed. You are going to bleed. You can bandage the bleeding with food, with work, with anything; but eventually, it will all ooze through and stain your life. You must find the strength to open the wounds, stick your hands inside, pull out the core of the pain that is holding you in your past, the memories, and make peace with them" - I. Vanzant

“Be stubborn on vision, but flexible on details.”

“We can’t be in survival mode. We have to be in growth mode.”

Focus on physical health

Focus on mental wellness

Focus on creating fun memories

Focus on making real friends

Focus on less stress

Focus on being confident

Focus on love

On Mondays, we make goals and crush them.

“My New Year's resolution is to leave room for magic. To make my plans and be okay if they sometimes break. To set my goals, but to be open to change."

~Megan Markle
